Pretty much agreeing with most of the reviews saying this movie has a good first half and a derailed second part.
The initial premise is pure food for thought, the possibilities of for the story ahead are enormous, endless, I was even watching it thinking it would make a great series, since there's so much to explore.
Instead, pretty much from the second third, more than second half, the story drifts away from the premise, leaving the viewer with a few (some very annoying) characters going on with their uninteresting lives and the fact that they're downsized becomes completely irrelevant, besides the housing and places where they're living.
It's really weird to see how irrelevant the actual title of the movie is in the second part.
Definitely a bad script over a good idea.
Director writer, here, so I have to say bad direction too.
I was told about this half and half thing on this movie, wanted to give it a chance since I found the theme very interesting, but the movie ended up a complete bore-feast and even warned I was hugely disappointed.
